With the nicebribebonus I got today, there weren't any limitations.![]()

And you have the hardest job of all, Tink. I see why you like to have some time off too. You're a healer.![]()

I didn't know that. How about the "other" temperature measurement?
Higher (about a degree)What did the aliens did to you?![]()

Yes, usually a degree lower.
I've never seen a UFO except on YT, but several presidents, astronauts and even Barry Goldwater says they have seen many. I'm not in the least bit worried, I have my ferocious little watchdog that likes to lick men's toes.
Nitey nite jj, DLTBBB.![]()

Thank you, Tink. Mine has been reading 96.5 - 97.0 consistently, so my thyroid might need a little cleanse. I thought I remembered it being lower by armpit, higher rectally, but that was many yrs ago I started training for nurse's aide.
Thanks. I got the hierarchy down. It kind of makes sense.![]()
The other day I had a pt and was taking her temp intranasally (she was asleep!) and also we were using a probe in her esophagus (right next to the heart). Nasal was 35.7C and esophageal was 37C.Let me ask this then...how much is your sciatica pain worth in dollars?
These days, I include the potential medical costs in my savings calculation of whether I should do something myself. Sigh....
hello!
Good memory!!
Yes, as you get closer to the "core" you get warmer![]()
